Whitney Port Maxim Magazine Pictures Jan. 2011

“Never eaten pasta. I don’t have any allergies or anything. I just don’t like the texture. It’s one of these weird things that kind of irks me, so I have no interest in trying it….” Whitney Port, Maxim Magazine Jan. 2011

Now that her tenure as the Girl Next Door-turned-Fashion Vamp on MTV’s The City has come to an end, The Hills alum Whitney Port has reached a pivotal point in her maturity as a pop culture star: The Pin-Up Years.

Whit nearly leapt out of her Manolos when men’s mag Maxim came calling with an offer to appear — scantily-clad — in a centerfold in their Jan. issue, featuring cover girl Katy Perry. Port even invited her family along for the shoot. Nothing says “Merry Christmas!” like posing in a two-piece while Mom & Dad look on with pride.

“I definitely let my sexy side come out. Maybe I will do more photo shoots like this now! Thank you Maxim for giving me the opportunity to try something new. I had so much fun with your crew, they made me feel so comfortable!”
